The "Real Books" Approach: Is Apprenticeship a Weak Analogy?

Coles, Martin

Reading, v24 n2 p50-56 Jul 1990

Discusses the apprenticeship approach to teaching reading. Finds two useful insights to be drawn from traditional apprenticeship: (1) the movement from observation, through coaching, to practice can act as a model for reading instruction; and (2) the importance of the social context in which learning takes place.
